On October 7, with a half-gale blowing and visibility restricted to a hundred yards in heavy snow squalls, the Algerine proceeded from Savage Harbour on the return passage to Pictou. It had been intended to examine Graves Strait, Resolution Island, on passage, but the conditions prevented this. Heavy weather was encountered for the next three days. The night of October 9, while proceeding into the northeast entrance of the Strait of Belle Isle, a signal was received directing the Algerine to the assistance of the S.S. MaRledore, aground in the entrance to Alexis River, Labrador. The Algerine reached Alexis River the morning of October 10, and completed towing the MaRle dore free that evening. The following day was spent in a quick reconnaissance of the Alexis and Gilbert rivers with one of the launches before continuing to Pictou on the morning of October 12. Pictou was reached without further incident on the afternoon of October 14. Unloading operations were completed October 16, and the Algerine sailed for her home port, Ste John's, Newfoundland, that afternoon. The Algerine proved eminently suitable for northern survey work under difficult ice conditions, and a great deal of credit is due to Captain vJilliam Hancock for his personal interest in the work and his able handling of the ship. The Chief Engineer, Mr. Snow, was also of great assistance in improvising repairs when no spares were available for the survey launches. ln one instance he manufactured a launch propeller, no small feat, which vvas extremely satisfactory and enabled work to be carried on without the delay of awaiting spares. The ship's electric welding and oxyacetylene equipment was also invaluable, not only to the survey, but in assisting the Theron. As a result of the season's work, two charts will be published and a third will be completed next season. The charts in the process of preparation are:- 5405 Port Burwell and Approaches 5516 Koojesse Inlet and Approaches Culbertson Island to Koojesse Inlet 5513 Frobisher Bay, Northwestern Part

During the past year the number of officers has been increased by the appointment of mammalogists to Fort Simpson and to Franklin and Keewatin districts. These officers are as follows: ln early July E.H. McEwen, who was employed on the caribou survey in 1950, succeeded W.E. Stevens as mammalogist at Aklavik. Mr. 11cEwen has started a systematic investigation of marten and beaver conditions in northwestern hIackenzie District. and the northern Yukon. D.R. Flook took up the appointment of mammalogist at Fort Simpson at the end of July. His first major work will be to study wildlife 0onditions in the Fort Rae area where there is a large band of Indians who are dependent on wildlife.
